13 Horses Lyrics - Alexander Rybak

13 horses swimming in the sea 

Waiting for someone to find them 

Their ship is gone and now they are alone 

With water everywhere around them 

The men were saved from the sinking ship 

Right before it started to burn 

And while they're safe their loyal friends need help 

Patiently waiting for their turn 

13 horses swimming in the sea 

They don't even know it's pointless 

The pride remains but this time it won't help 

They used to be so tall and suddenly they're small 

There's a couple way too far behind 

Soon they will be out of sight 

But then who cares, they're dying anyway 

All of them are doomed this night

11 horses swimming in the sea 

The sea they thought was just a river 

They're used to this, it's probably just a race 

That helps to ease their minds, but where's the finish line? 

The night grows dark, the body wants to rest 

It hurts to breathe and still they do their best 

They want to live no matter for how long 

Their thoughts have disappeared 'cause now they're pretty scared 

7 horses struggling in the sea 

Waiting for someone to find them 

They don't look back 'cause what's the point of that 

There is only death behind them 

They cry for help but help will never come 

They don't know where to swim or what they're swimming from 

They try to swim some more when panic starts to spread 

They're swimming into shore but only in their heads

The 3 last horses dying in a sea 

Shouting of their cries for no one 

They're born to win, they're screaming in their hearts 

The strength of thousand men, they're fighting 'till the end 

The sun is up, birds are everywhere 

They're flying high, surfing in the air 

It's nice to live when life is such a bless 

One horse that swims it seems to be the last 

The 13th horse has always been the best 

His owner will be proud but now he wants to rest 

He's longing for his home, the girl will give him food 

Good boy she'll say, together they will play 

13 horses swimming in the sea 

Soon they will be gone forever 

And while they swim one thing still remains 

And that's the hope that never dies 

It never dies, it never dies
